: Exactly, and this is the point I was raising with Noel- how far do his principles go? In your post on Kosova you accuse the left of supporting Serbia, I know I don't, but I still oppose the war, as I oppose all capitalist wars, and do so on a matter of principle, not of shifting in the wind, like the SWP's 'Victory to Saddam T-Shirts'.

I do not support war by whatever ideology or lackthereof is involved. I may decide to defend my"area" with the possible help of some neighborsbut will go no further and will follow no GloriousLeader in the attempt. Why must a war have your "flavorof the month" to be condemned?
